Patented July 25, 1933 UNITED STATES HAROLD KEIZER, OF CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS WAFFLE EXTRAGTOR Application filed June 25, 1931, Serial No. 546,801.

This invention relates to an improved instrument, to be known as a wailie extractor, for extracting waliles from iron. Said waflle extractor comprising a handle, a blade of particular design, a cross member attached to said blade and adjacent to said handle, said member provided with projections.

Two of said projections extending outward and parallel to the blade so as to provide cross member with an added means of supporting waifie, the other two projections extending upward to form stop, and a resilient thumbpress positioned above cross member. The object of this invention is to provide an instrument for liberating waliles which adhere to wafiie iron; and second to provide means or" holding wafiie on said instrument so that waffle may be lifted and carried without being touched by the human hand. This invention is illustrated in accompanying drawing in which Fig. l is a plan view of the article showing the relative position of the stops. supports, and resilient thumb-press. Fig. 2 is a side view showing position of stops and resilient thumb-press above blade. Fig. 3 is a View of point and Fig. 4:, a cross sectional view of blade at a, a, Fig. 2. The portion 3, supports 5, stops i, and resilient thumb-press 6, constitute the cross member, which is attached to blade 1.

The blade 1 is designed to fit in grooves of waflle iron so that it can be slipped below waille while wafiie is in said iron, the pur- F pose is to liberate wafi le from iron at any a point or". adhesion particularly the center point where waffle adheres most strongly.

As blade 1, slipped under waffle reaches center of wattle iron, the supports 5, will pass under outer edge of waifle and support said waffle on said blade, the resilient thumb-press Renewed December 28, 1932.

6 will now be in position above outer edge of Waffle so that when said thumb-press is ressed downward the waflle will be held by lade 1, supports 5, on the underside, and thumb-press 6, on upper side. In this manner wattle may be carried and placed in any desired position. The blade 1 having a double edge shown enlarged in cross sectional view 4, is tapered toward the point, a depression in blade towards the point will permit the point to rest level on bottom of wattle iron groove when the upper portion of blade is held at an angle to said groove, the shape of blade is shown in 1, Fig. 2.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desired to be secured and protected by Letters Patent is:

1. Awalfie extractor comprising a handle, a blade tapered towards the point, said point slightly upturned, a cross member attached to said blade adjacent said handle, said member provided with projections forming stops and projections forming supports, a resilient thumb-press positioned above said member, said thumb-press having downwardly pointed notches or teeth at its outer extremity.

2. A. waiile extractor comprising a handle, a blade, a cross member attached to said blade adjacent said handle, a resilient thumbpress above said cross member, and in position to form a holding device in conjunction with said cross member.

' 3. A waffle extractor comprising ahandle, a blade, a cross member attached to said blade adjacent said handle, said member being provided with projections forming stops and supports and a resilient thumb-press, positioned above said member.
